This painting is called Capriccio of a Port Scene. It's from the Romantic period. The artist used pen, brown ink, and brown wash over pencil to create it. I don't know what the image looks like, but it's interesting that the artist worked during the Romantic period, a time when artists focused on emotion and imagination. The use of pen, brown ink, and brown wash over pencil suggests a detailed and expressive style. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
